This week, a note went home to Lyndon B. Johnson Middle School parents, explaining how unhealthy the cheese-flavored snacks are. According to the letter, the snack has poor nutritional value, and students eat Cheetos instead of a good snack. Plus, they share the snack, spreading germs.

"My daughter brings Snack Packs to school. I don’t have her bringing a family-size pack of Cheetos to school, just because I know my child and I know she would eat the whole bag in one day," said parent Chante Coleman.

A bag of Cheetos has four servings, but administrators are concerned many students will eat the whole thing, which is equivalent to 44 grams of fat and nearly 700 calories at once.

"I do appreciate that the school is trying to take charge in that way to keep the kids healthy and active," Coleman said.

School administrators said they are encouraging students and parents to pick up a healthier snack.
